Classified Substitutes

If you are interested in substituting as a Para-educator or any other classified position which includes; Secretarial, Food Service, Custodial/Maintenance and Transportation, applications can be picked up at the District Office or mailed to you by contacting the substitute coordinator Gitana Jensen @ gjensen@mtbaker.wednet.edu or by calling 360-383-2001.  If e-mailing please indicate name and address where you would like the application mailed.
